Shooting by Pinal County deputy stirs debate
Fatal encounter is captured on videos

In broad outline, a car was reported stolen 13 February. It was spotted about noon on the 14 February. Police reported around 1P that the driver told the police "he wants us to shoot him at Main and 11th" (where the shooting occurred later) and indicated by gesture he had a gun. There was a high speed chase, ending after about 40 minutes near Main and 11th, where the man's girlfriend lived. The man exited the vehicle and stood facing officers with one hand behind his back. Officers fired five beanbags and a taser at him. He moved towards the front of the car and may or may not have opened the front door of the vehicle to reach inside. He then returned towards the rear of the vehicle, turned his back on police, and raised his hand. About a second later, a deputy fired two rifle shots; one hit him in the back below the left shoulder blade. At about this time, off-duty Deputy Guy Cariño (brother of the man's girlfriend) tried to calm the man; Cariño was forcibly removed from the vicinity and charged with assaulting officers and endangering officers; he was fired the next day for a domestic abuse incident in September, for which he had been served a termination notice in January. The man was sent to a local medical center where he was pronounced dead

Yeah, the casual nature of it in the aftermath. It was sickening. Literally.

Around the 0:46 mark, the suspect begins moving; around the 0:48 mark

Police say they fired 5 beanbags and a taser before the deputy's two rifle shots killed the man

Right. And the first two beanbags are before he turns back to the car door.

That's plausible. I can't actually tell whether he reached into the car or not.
